There is a lot of information coming out lately about the government operation Arctic Frost. I am not sure any of the actions involved in this operation were in line with the U.S. Constitution, but there is one area that violated the Constitution that is very troubling.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, John Hinderaker posted the following at Power Line Blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n Arctic Frost was the FBI investigation that tried to associate Donald Trump and many other Republicans with the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest. It was the basis for one of Special Counsel Jack Smith\u2019s indictments of Trump. That indictment was dismissed. Senator Chuck Grassley has been on this case for a long time; whistleblowers approached him long ago to explain the corruption of the FBI and Joe Biden\u2019s Department of Justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n Arctic Frost can best be seen as a continuation of the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which sought to prevent Trump from being elected, and then to cripple his administration after he won the 2016 election. Also the Dirty 51 scandal, which sought, successfully, to swing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.<\/strong><\/p>\n Arctic Frost included service of 197 subpoenas in which Special Counsel Jack Smith sought incriminating information about hundreds of Republicans, including ten Republican senators and one House member. There was no basis for suspecting any of these individuals of criminal actions, and in fact, no criminality was found. Smith subpoenaed telephone records of those Republicans from various telecom vendors, and rogue Democrat Judge James Boasberg entered a gag order, directing the phone companies not to disclose the subpoenas to their customers\u2013United States Senators\u2013for one year. There is precedent for such orders in organized crime investigations.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article quotes Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n Verizon justified complying with the subpoenas, saying they were \u201cfacially valid\u201d and contained only phone numbers, not names. Verizon said that with the \u201cbenefit of hindsight\u201d and recent discussions with the Senate Sergeant at Arms, which handles congressional phone services, it has modified its policies so that it puts up more of a challenge to law enforcement requests pertaining to Congress members.<\/strong><\/p>\n …AT&T, meanwhile, did not comply with the subpoenas.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhen AT&T raised questions with Special Counsel Smith\u2019s office concerning the legal basis for seeking records of members of Congress, the Special Counsel did not pursue the subpoena further, and no records were produced<\/span>,\u201d David Chorzempa, general counsel for AT&T, wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article at Power Line Blog notes:<\/p>\n Taken together, these Democratic Party scandals, from the Russian Collusion Hoax to Crossfire Hurricane to the Dirty 51 to Arctic Frost\u2013and likely others that have not yet come to light\u2013represent by far the worst political corruption in American history. There has never been anything like it.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Republican voters have been patient, but when will the Republicans hold someone accountable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is a lot of information coming out lately about the government operation Arctic Frost.
